While George Peck, of Peck's Sun,
was making his Northwestern trip In
the interests Of dead prairie chickens
few weeks ago he had a little expert
en& which makes him sigh every
time he thinks OF IL. He was on "A
Wisconsin train headed West, and just
before IL reached La Crosse he got into
conversation with stranger who sat
opposite him who was probably the
thinnest person at that time not en-
gagged at a lucrative salary in dime
museum. He was SO light he could
hardly sit still. He had his coat
sleeves fastened down with clothes
pins. Peck estimated that he would
weigh about eighty-dve pounds with
an oyercoat on. Incidentally he learn
ed that the stranger was a newspaper
man. This caused a more familiar
feeling, and after some time, as the
thin gentleman grew rather confid-
entail, Peck yentured TO remark pleas
antly.
'1'm afraid You haven't followed the
injunction to laugh and gov fat"

rel architecture, and Peck thought he
could hear his lower jaw squeak on its

The cry OF physicians all over the
country Is that Americans do not take
sufficient rest and creation--that hol-
idays and seasons OF relaxation are far
too few. / have looked into the mat
ter some and find that il Is only too
true. We are oyerworked, tired-out
people have little plan 10 largely
do away with this---a modest scheme
which j feel sure will prove boon 10
many nervous, WORKOUT business
man who, perhaps, has grown 10
scarcely know the meaning OF vaca-
ton or rest from the ever multiplying
cares Of busy professional or mer-
camille life.
My plan is inexpensive and takes
but little time, which will recommend
IL To all. IL Is as follows: Get a
sheet of common sticky fiy-paper, such
as almost any druggist can furnish
you, lay II on the carpet in the middle
OF the floor. and then introduce the
family cat, and by fair means or foul,
according TO the place you occupy IN
the confidence OF the feline, induce
her 10 step on IL.
Now this may at FIRST sight look
frivolous and beneath the old and dig
mined lawyer, minister, or broker, but
II so II is only because he has never
tried H.
IL Is az first sufficient 10 induce the
cat 10 place one foot on the paper, and
IL after she makes the rounds Of the
room few times feaping the furni-
ture she has not become more closely
connected with IL she may be per
suaded 70 attach her near forefoot and
of hindfoot and again be allowed "a
leap the bric-a-brac and turn back
hand-springs of the piano. Here you
have rest and pleasure combined.
When she gets all four feet on II, as
she must sooner or later, and makes
flying leaps at the chandelier, then
you have relaxation, sport, and holi-
day gayety all for 1--WE cents for paper
II you haven't cat Of your own you
can inveigle your neighbours into the
